Girls outshine boys in SSC (Science) exams
Karachi, Aug 01, 2008: Maintaining their academic superiority over boys, girls once
again managed to clinch the top three positions in the Matric Science (SSC-II)
annual examinations-2008, results of which were announced by the Board of
Secondary Education, Karachi (BSEK) on Thursday.

Girls not only
outclassed boys in bagging the top positions but they also got as many as 7,244
A-I grade as compared to 5,040 boys securing the same grade although the number
of boys who appeared in the examination was 60,533 as against 45,580
girls.

Of the total 106,113 candidates who appeared in the examination,
81,692 candidates (45,389 boys and 36,303 girls) were declared passed and the
overall pass percentage remained at 76.99.

Subas Ali, daughter of Aijaz Ali Soomro, and
Alicia Khan Ghauri, daughter of Babar Khan Ghauri, shared the first position in
the order of merit by obtaining 821 marks out of the total 850. Both of them
belonged to St Joseph's Convent High School.

The second position was also
shared by three students –Mehwish Siddiqa d/o Asif Ali; Sana Azmat d/o Syed
Azmat Aziz and Dur-i-Shehwar d/o Mohammad Aslam Qureshi –students of Falcon
House Grammar School, North Karachi; Karachi Public School, Gulshan-i-Iqbal and
C.A.A. Model School, Airport, respectively. They secured 805 marks.

The
third position was bagged by Sana Ashraf d/o Mohammad Ashraf. She got 803 marks
and belonged to Federal Secondary School of Federal B' Area.

Most of the
position holders were highly critical of the Karachi Electric Supply Company,
saying that unannounced load-shedding and frequent power breakdowns had badly
affected their studies.

They were also of the opinion that no student
would like to take tuition or join coaching centres if they were properly taught
at their educational institutions.

They were expressing their views at a
ceremony held in their honour at the Karachi Press Club on Thursday. The Sindh
education department's director for private schools, Mansoob Hussain Siddiqui,
and parents of the toppers were also present.

Ms Subas Ali, who shared
the first position with Alicia Khan Ghauri, said that had there been no
load-shedding during their examination, she and other candidates would have
performed much better.

Ms Ali, who aspires to become a doctor, was of the
view that students were forced to take tuition only when they were not properly
taught at their educational institutions.

Ms Alicia Khan Ghauri could not
attend the ceremony as she was abroad, her father Senator Babar Khan Ghauri, who
was present on the occasion said. Ms Mehwish Siddiqa, who shared
the second position with Ms Sana Azmat and Ms Dure-i-Shehwar, also criticised
the KESC for resorting to prolonged load-shedding.

She complained that
there was no mathematics teacher at her school for a long time and the school
had hired the services of the subject's teacher only two months before the
examination. She wishes to become a neurologist.

Ms Sana Azmat stressed
the need for changing the education system and the paper pattern. She suggested
that there should be more and more objective-type questions.

Ms
Dur-i-Shehwar, who also got second position, said that traffic jams and
pollution were the two major issues facing the city and the relevant authorities
should help resolve these issues on priority. She wants to become a chartered
account.

The third position holder, Ms Sana Ashraf, deplored that
although Urdu was the national language, no efforts were being made to promote
the language.

All the position holders gave the credit of their success
to their parents and teachers. Dawn
